Poor draft classes

[Bacong]

I'm in 2042 in my franchise, and within the past few seasons, the draft classes have been absurdly bad. This class alone has one player above a 70 potential, and he's a MR.

Anyone experience this/know what to do? Thanks.

Hi Bacong.

A couple questions to see what might be happening for you:

1. (Dumb question first) Are you playing with scouts enabled?
2. If #1 is yes, what are your scouting directors stats? Specifically, what is his prospects rating and what is his preference (Ability, Neutral or tools).
3. Also yes to #1, is this scouting director fairly new? Did you have a pretty consistent one for a while and have him retire or get fired and hire someone new. If this is a recent change, what were the stats for the previous SD?
4. If no to #1, can you post a screen shot of your player creation modifiers?

Thanks

1. Yes.
2. My scout has 100 in each category. Neutral.
3. I've had him for a few years, now. I had the same scout for about 20 years.

@Bacong
Hmm, a consistent scout with neutral ratings shouldn't cause a sudden talent drop.

When you look at the players true numbers in the player editor, are they consistent with the scouts ratings or are you seeing a wide variance at all?

Have you tried scouting the talent pool with another scout who might have a preference towards tools to see if the ratings get better?

I did notice a slight dip in my 100 year solo league between 2002-2005, but it has since improved. I also tend to cheat a bit and scout with 2-3 different teams scouts to get a better idea of the pool when it starts to look absurdly thin.

Since we haven't heard back from the original poster in some time, I'm going to go ahead and close out this thread.
